Cute redheaded police officer peeks her head through the door as she knocks. "Is everyone decent? Can I come in?"

Eric is actually feeling a bit lonely since Claire left abruptly and is glad the lady officer decided to return. "Mr. Eric Anderson correct? Ok, good, just a few quick questions. Were you and Julia Armstrong close? Would you describe her as a girlfriend or caregiver?"

"Yeah, both."

"Were there ever times she did things that made you uncomfortable or did things without your consent?"

"Not uncomfortable, she sometimes gave me medicine when I was asleep but she's my girlfriend so she can do whatever she wants and it's cool."

The lady cop snorts and tries to play it off as a sneeze, "And at a doctor's appointment did she physically grab a syringe from a doctor and stick you with it without your permission?"

"Ugh, Is that what Dr. Sharma told you? No, no. Julia knew that my physician made me physically ill when she touched me. Julia gave me the shot to keep me from barfing everywhere. The consent was implied between us. Officer, is there any way you can keep Dr. Sharma away from this room? My nurses told me she tried to come by and examine me."

"I wouldn't worry about that, Dr. Sharma won't be allowed back at this hospital for quite a while."

Claire walks in as the officer thanks Eric for the information and leaves.

Eric looks at Claire humbly. "I'm really sorry I phrased what I said the way I did. I didn't mean to come off as controlling or jealous. I know nude modeling isn't supposed to be sexual and I need to get my head out of the gutter."

"Actually, it is more than all right. That was quite a nice apology and it wasn't even necessary, really. I do like it that you made such a lovely effort though. Eric, I have wonderful news. Gina just let me know Julia's brain swelling is going down and tomorrow they are going to take her off her medicines and try to wake her."
